permissions-webpack-plugin

A Webpack plugin that allows you to set file permissions on output assets after the build process completes.

Installation

npm install permissions-webpack-plugin --save-dev

Usage

Basic Usage

const { SetFilePermissionsPlugin } = require('permissions-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new SetFilePermissionsPlugin({
      rules: [
        {
          permissions: 0o755, // rwxr-xr-x
          patterns: ['main.js', 'cli.js']
        }
      ]
    })
  ]
};

Advanced Usage

const { SetFilePermissionsPlugin } = require('permissions-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new SetFilePermissionsPlugin({
      rules: [
        {
          permissions: 0o755, // Make executable
          patterns: [
            /^bin\/.+$/,           // All files in bin/ directory
            'cli.js',              // Specific file
            /\.sh$/                // All shell scripts
          ]
        },
        {
          permissions: 0o644, // Read-write for owner, read-only for others
          patterns: [
            /\.json$/,             // All JSON files
            /\.txt$/               // All text files
          ]
        }
      ]
    })
  ]
};

Limitations

• Only works with file systems that support the chmod operation, otherwise changes are skipped
• Permissions are applied after the build completes (during the afterEmit hook)
